Gentlemen,

Here's what the SYS(0) documentation says:

"Machine information must first be assigned by the network software and the network shell must be loaded."

This indicates that whatever the network operating system, the information available through SYS(0) comes from there. This should be the same (in the case of the user name) as that returned by the API call to it. Personally, I use WNetGetUser.
